never gonna stop

I'm much with the growling right now. My life is just... complicated. I accepted the fact long ago that I'd rather write than do anything else. I have friends, and sometimes I even go out, but I'm a classic hermit. Everyone accepts that, even if some of them think I should at least spend my time writing work I could get paid for. I do at times, but I enjoy Buffy so much more.

The growling is because everything else seems to be getting in the way of my writing lately, and the work I need to be doing on my website. I have all these plans, and never enough time to do them. I'm undergoing a huge project of re-decorating my bedroom, and that's not going well, I have huge financial issues, and my kids (a fat tabby and a moody Siamese) are driving me crazy lately. Stress, stress, stress.

But enough whining. I just want it to be known that I haven't given up on Anna Begins. I posted before I went to bed today, and I have every intention of seeing the story through to the end. I've never been great at sticking to posting schedules, but I did pretty well with "Impossible." Having written for other fandoms, it seems to me that Buffy fans are way more sympathetic. I think it's because we have more people writing and reading at the same time, and other authors can understand the complications of writer's block and RL getting in the way. When I wrote for Inuyasha, I had a small group of people that I dearly enjoyed talking to, and still do, but I also had a large number of teenage girls screaming for updates, and while I love that people want to read my work, it gets annoying after so many death threats. One of my favorite Spuffy writers might update once a month, but I wait patiently for it, and I'm never disappointed. Because I understand. I just hope there's people that think my stories are worth waiting for, and I'm going to try harder to get them posted.
